The wicked girl

Chapter 366
My name is Ye Shu.

Different paths lead to the same goal.

I don't like this name, and I don't like the surname "Ye".

Before I was 11 years old, I never thought that I would actually see my father one day.However, what if you see it?I don't like him, and he doesn't like me either.A sister said, he is not our father at all.I agree with this statement very much, but sometimes in my heart I still vaguely want that person to really treat me as a son.

However, all of this is just a delusion after all.

Until many years later, I still remember the first time I was brought in front of him, he asked my name, and when I answered the word "special", he suddenly looked ugly.

It was also at that time that I realized that there was such a decisive meaning in the name.

But I always knew that my mother hated my father.I am willing to call him father because I know that only by living obediently like this can I have a chance to avenge my mother.But every time I spit out these two words from my mouth, I feel that my mother is staring at me from the sky.She probably didn't want me to call him.

Just like what my sister once said, she said that neither she nor I should return to the imperial capital, nor should we return to the Ye family, which is a den of wolves and tigers.

So even when she was in the countryside, the days of living under the fence seemed so disturbing, she never mentioned the matter of looking for her father.Even in winter, when her hands were soaked in cold water and became red and swollen, she never complained.

But as long as I see my elder sister working hard, I can't help but think of my mother when she was still alive.

Although I was only five years old at that time, those past events are still vivid in my mind.Mother's health is not good, and five out of ten days must be spent in a daze.When I was young, I was actually terrified of her.It's just that there is a deep desire in that fear.I'm afraid of my mother, but I can't help but want to get close to her, and get closer.

But my elder sister is different from me. From the very beginning, she seldom got close to her mother.

I'm afraid that's exactly the case, so that day when my mother fell ill, she just pulled me away, and she didn't even want to say a word to my mother.But the stupid me just broke away from her embrace and rushed to my mother's side.

The silver needle in my mother's hand shone coldly under the light of the winter snow, and I regretted it just by looking at it, and I was about to run away with my short legs.However, before I could run two steps, I was picked up by my mother who was thin and thin, and placed on her lap.

That was a gesture I had been longing for for a long time...

One time I followed my elder sister to deliver sewn clothes to Uncle Li’s house at the end of the alley. As soon as I knocked on the door, I saw Uncle Li’s wife hugging her son in this posture, humming a little tune softly, in the warm afternoon sun Coax the child to take a nap.

I stood there in a daze, reluctant to take my eyes away.

It wasn't until Sister called me many times that she almost dragged me back home.

But that scene, like a full seed fell into my heart.Then take root and sprout.In the end, it grew into a towering tree with intertwined roots, holding tightly to my heart that yearns for love.

However, I finally waited until the day when I was hugged by my mother in the same posture, but what I faced was not my mother's gentle smile, but the cold needle.

I even remember that there was a small piece of green thread attached to the end of the needle...short, swayed by mother's movements, it seemed that it would fall down at any time.

The green line is getting closer and closer, and the pointed needle end shrinks into a very bright point.

I froze on my mother's lap, unable to move at all, like a fish that had died due to lack of water, lying stiffly on the cutting board, waiting for the shiny kitchen knife to fall.However, the next moment, the world was spinning.

When I came back to my senses, I had already fallen to the ground.

But the mother dropped the needle in her hand, grabbed the little bun on Ajie's head and cursed sharply: "Who told you to come here! Who asked you to come here!"

Repeating this sentence over and over again, the voice became sharper and sharper, and my whole heart was pulled up when I heard it.The thin elder sister was like an old ragged jacket, being held tightly by the mother and dangling back and forth.

On that day, my elder sister saved me and died by herself.

Except for me, no one knew that Sister had already died once.

On a cold day, a drop of water can turn into ice, but my sister was submerged in the bitter well water by her sick mother.I was so frightened that my limbs went limp, but I was at a loss as to what to do. I just sat on the ground and stared at the backs of sister and mother stupidly.

One is struggling desperately, and the other is desperately suppressing.

It was not until many years later that I realized that this was clearly a murder!

But at that time, I just watched my sister's struggling little body finally lose strength, and finally kicked her foot almost desperately, and then fell silent.But the mother had disheveled hair, straightened her waist with dull eyes, and muttered in her mouth: "Okay... this meeting will be good... Finally, the fuss is over..."

She said, turning around stiffly.

There was a burst of warmth between the legs, and the cotton pants suddenly became heavy.

I didn't care about anything, got up from the ground, and hid in the house.Like my sister taught me, I blocked the door firmly.

Fortunately, my mother didn't make a fuss for long, so she fell asleep with her head covered.I waited until there was no sound from outside, then opened the door cautiously, and ran quickly into the yard.A thick layer of snow had already accumulated in the narrow and cramped yard, and most of Ajie's body seemed to be covered by snowflakes.White hair, white eyebrows and body.I was terrified, and because I was young, I shouldn't be doing this at all.

The snow under the feet soaked the shoes and trousers, and it was cold to the bone after a while.

Trembling all over, I threw myself on Sister A and cried loudly.

She's out of breath.

It was as frozen as the half piece of frozen pork I saw last time, it was dead, thoroughly dead.

When I was young, I didn't understand life and death, but I also vaguely understood that sister would never cook me food again, and would never scold me for being disobedient.Usually, I am tired of her scolding.Even though he is only two years older than me, he seems to be 12 years older than me, and he is completely bored with me when he talks on weekdays.But this kind of elder sister died because of saving me... With tears in my eyes, I wish my elder sister could scold me again.

However, crying and crying, I suddenly heard someone say a word in a hoarse voice next to my ear in a trance.

——"Am I... dead?"

Elder Sister, who obviously had no breath at all, suddenly made a sound.

I didn't know that something was wrong, I just thought that sister was still alive, and I cried and laughed with joy, and hugged her tightly.

But soon, I found something different.

This sister is not the original sister.

She no longer scolds me, and no longer thinks I'm disobedient, and she doesn't seem to be afraid of mother at all.

It's really indescribably weird.

But the face is still the same face, the body is still the same body, and even the voice is the same as before.Such a sister, how could she not be my sister?
How can I keep thinking about such strange things when I was young.Within a few days, I completely forgot about this issue.But many years later, in my grandmother's small Buddhist hall, I finally smashed this matter on my sister's face like tearing open a scabbed wound.

Her complexion was unsightly like never before. It was so ugly that people couldn't bear to look at her.

But I seemed to be out of control, throwing those heartbreaking words in front of her one sentence after another.

Every sentence seemed to have thorns, and it was as simple as a sharp sword out of its sheath. It had a posture of swearing not to give up until it was stained with blood, and it stabbed her thoroughly, as if hurting a completely unknown person.

However, she is my sister, my only sister.

If it weren't for her, I might have died long ago.But for some reason, after returning to Ye's house, the elder sister in front of me became more and more different from the one in my memory.She still has the same eyebrows and eyes, but the elder sister in the Ye family is more like the second young lady Ye Kui in the eyes of the world, not my elder sister.

Whether it's her ruthless methods or cold and harsh words, I am not familiar with them.

I always knew that she wanted to protect me, just like how she protected me when I was a child.But I started to be a little afraid of her.Rather than being guarded by her, I hope she can let me participate in her plan and let me avenge my mother together with her.But these words, I do not know how to say.

I don't know when it started, every time I talked to my sister, it seemed to become a quarrel.

Or even more unbearable perfunctory.

I thought she was finally tired of me.

An incompetent younger brother, even if it were me, I might feel bored.

So I dare not tell her, never have dared.When I was brought back to Ye's house, I did my best.From the very beginning, I wanted to come back on my own.I have never forgotten to avenge my mother.

Not in the past, not even after returning to the Ye family!
But I got it wrong time and time again.

I thought I could do it, but in the end it was just a stupid idea.

However, all of that is over after all...

At this time, it has been four full years since Ajie married into Pei's family.

In the past four years, there has been a bloodbath.Whether it is the Pei family or the Ye family, even the entire Fengcheng and Dayue have been turned upside down.From the age of 13 to the age of 17, I am afraid that only I really know what I have experienced.

The winter of the fifth year of Chengming came as eagerly as usual.

As if overnight, it changed from the 20th year of Xicheng to the fourth year of Chengming.

But everyone is well aware that the mystery of this is indeed only one night.

Today is the birthday of Sister's eldest son, my nephew Brother Jing.

I heard that it was the night of the palace change when my elder sister started to suffer from labor pains.Sometimes when I think about it, I think that day was so dangerous.If the matter failed on that day, wouldn't brother-in-law really die, and how many days would Brother Jing have to live?

Fortunately, everything is fine.

He has grown up peacefully until now, and he has also formed a very pleasing appearance.No wonder brother-in-law hurts holding him in the palm of his hand, every year on his birthday he has to throw a big feast to feel happy.But after all, this is too eye-catching, and it seems extravagant and arrogant. My sister has blocked it several times, so this year is not a big deal.

But even so, the people who should be invited must be invited.

So early this morning, Fifth Sister came to look for me.

The fifth younger sister is also 12 years old this year, and will be 13 years old after the new year.According to the habit in the imperial capital, she should also say kiss.It's just that my father's new wife is not very old, and she doesn't seem to be very good at handling things. I am afraid that the fifth sister's marriage will still be taken over by sister to handle it herself.

But this is also good, although the father's heirs are a little thin now, but the new wife is young, and sooner or later she will give birth to a few more children for her father.Therefore, no one can say how much the new wife's heart can be placed on Fifth Younger Sister.What's more, although the fifth younger sister is liked by the elder sister, she often walks around in front of the third aunt, so her status in the mansion is not low.But after all, she is just a concubine, so it's hard to say that it's such a good marriage.But it would be much easier if sister-in-law was involved.

I looked at the appearance and figure of the fifth younger sister who had grown up day by day, and I couldn't help feeling a few words about how time flies.

It really seems that in the blink of an eye, Fifth Sister has grown up to this size.

As soon as she saw me, the girl frowned and started picking at my clothes, "Ivory plain face? My third brother, what day is it today? Even if it's to add some joy to Brother Jing, I should change it." Clothes that look more cheerful are the ones."

But the 12-year-old girl, she speaks clearly about me, she is like a sister, and I am a younger brother.

I just smiled, and asked someone to change my body into a more festive color, and then I gave her a look of approval, and heard her say: "That's about the same. Third brother, you are not young, today second sister Then there must be ladies from all walks of life, just go and show your face, and let them rush to marry you like this!"

"That's all, it's better to let things happen." I smiled wryly and shook my head, regretting going out with this girl.

My marriage, I heard that my father has been thinking about it all the time, and the new wife who is about my age has already started to help find candidates.But this matter, I myself am not very concerned.I'm used to the messy things in the back house, and I've also gone through the things about my mother and the He family, so somehow I'm afraid of getting married, and I'm afraid that my children will be more involved in these things in the future.

It's snowing outside, and it's snowing in my heart.I wish I could procrastinate for a few more days.

When I finally got out and arrived at Pei's house, I was dragged aside by my brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law..." Because of what happened when I was young, I was always inexplicably at a loss as to how to deal with him.Even though so many years have passed, the little brother Jiu in his memory is still as clear as yesterday.

However, he ignored my strange voice, and only smiled and said to me: "I invite you here today, not just for Brother Jing's business, remember to look carefully later."

The words were indistinct, and I didn't know the meaning for a while.I asked again in a daze, but he left me again and left. He didn't know where he went, and he was nowhere to be found in an instant.I had no choice but to go back and gossip with a group of acquaintances but unfamiliar people.

"Uncle—uncle—"

After a while, a familiar jumping voice came from outside the hall.

I subconsciously stood up, and before I could stand still, a small figure crashed into my arms like a gust of wind.

"Jing'er, why did you come here?" This child was born with great strength, this bump almost knocked me down.I managed to stabilize my figure, and I was secretly glad that I finally didn't fall and lose face in front of so many people.

"Jing'er is a man, so it's natural that he should talk with uncle and other uncles!" The boy with red lips and white teeth was wearing a brand-new jacket, and said loudly, "The people inside are all women, and Jing'er doesn't play with them. !"

After the words were finished, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

What he said, everyone didn't know how to answer it.

I smiled mischievously, leaned over and held his chubby little hand, and said, "Alright, then Jing'er will be with uncle."

Speaking of which, when he was born, I never thought that one day I would be able to be liked by him like this.Because of those past events, my sister has long since lost her initial feelings for me, and I am well aware of my faults, and I never expected that my sister would really treat me without any blame for the past.

But because of Jing'er's existence, everything has become different.

No one knows why this child likes me so much.Therefore, sister and brother-in-law became more and more intimate with me day by day.Until now, even I feel as if everything is just a dream.But the soft little hand in the palm is so warm and so real.

I know all this is not a dream.

I played with Jing'er for a while, and the child with beautiful pupils like dots of ink wandered around, asked about Shi Chen, suddenly grabbed my hand, and dragged me outside.

"Jing'er, what are you doing here?"

"Uncle, you can accompany Jing'er to catch butterflies in the garden!" He looked up at me with sincerity.

I looked blankly at the white sky outside, where can I catch butterflies in such weather?How could there be butterflies in the garden on a snowy day?Moreover, in such a cold day, the garden is full of snow and dead trees. If you go there, you will be frozen.So I stopped and said to him, "Jing'er, it's snowing outside, but there are no butterflies."

Hearing this, he grimaced and said, "Uncle, why did you forget that there is a greenhouse in my house, where there is neither snow nor rain, and the flowers are still blooming now! Since the flowers are blooming, Shouldn't there be butterflies?"

I always thought that I was a knowledgeable person, but this time I was stopped by a child's question. I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so I let him drag me to the greenhouse.

I always thought that most of the Pei family's money was spent on building gardens and greenhouses.If not, who can build such a thing?

Moreover, the building is extremely large, with seven bends and eight turns inside, making it difficult for people to figure out the north.I was dragged by Jing'er and wandered around.After a while, he suddenly stopped moving.I asked suspiciously, but saw him make a silent movement.

"Madam Ninth is really an exquisite person, and she is actually an expert in flowers and trees." Someone's voice sounded from the next door.

Immediately afterwards, I heard my elder sister's voice, "Mrs. Shen is amazing, I really don't understand these things, but I'm just playing around with nothing to do. It's your eldest lady who has a good skill. I heard that the Yetong pot that was famous in Fengcheng earlier was cultivated by Ling Qianjin?"

"Madam Ninth is really absurd." It was the same voice as before.

It should just be a coincidence that I ran into the wife of which elder sister brought to see flowers here.I was bored to hear it, and I was afraid that it would be bad if I ran into it, so I wanted to take Jing'er and leave first, but suddenly I heard another voice.

The tone is clear and clear, but the ending has a slight mellowness.

This voice is very moving...

"If Madam likes it, the method is actually not difficult to say. If you don't dislike it, Zhen'er is willing to offer her a plan."

Zhen'er...

I muttered these two words, but for a moment I couldn't remember which word it should be.I forgot for a while, and it was extremely inappropriate to just listen to someone's boudoir name like this.

"Mother!"

Suddenly, Jing'er let go of my hand and ran towards the direction of the sound.

I didn't chase it, and I didn't chase it, so I just stood there a little sluggishly.When he came back to his senses and wanted to avoid it, it was already too late.The sound of footsteps suddenly came to me, seeing that it was a foreigner, the girl named Zhen'er hurriedly dodged behind a woman, I only vaguely saw half of the face.

"Sister." I called out in embarrassment, bowed to the woman again, and hurriedly left.Before I left, I happened to see Jing'er making funny faces at me with a smile on my face, and also saw the unpredictable smile on the corner of my elder sister's lips, so I immediately understood.

I was so frightened that I hurriedly left, slandering my elder sister for arranging such a way of meeting regardless of the reputation of her boudoir, it seemed that I was frivolous, and it seemed that I would definitely agree this time.

As soon as this thought came to me, I was so frightened that my legs softened.

After leaving the conservatory, I was a little bit relieved by the cold wind.

Looking up at the sky, I saw that the originally gloomy sky also began to reveal the deep blue hidden behind.Against the white snow accumulated on the ground, it really gives people the illusion of being in a dream...

This life is really like a dream.
